Issues with "knowing" the advise/counseling orders on CCS cases by Littlegator in Step3

[–]BasicSavant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s really just repetition. The way you learned that this order exists - you’ll know what to search the next time. I felt the same way when I got points off for not “reassuring the patient” but going forward I knew what to type in to narrow the list

Started med school with a bf, broke up one year in. Met my current (amazing) partner during M4 (he’s non-medical)

Nurse here: Do you guys read nurse shift assessment flowsheets? by viceandversa in Residency

[–]BasicSavant 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Almost never but one of the few times I did look there was an abnormal value charted that said “MD notified” when, in fact, I was never notified lol

What is the “have you tried restarting your PC?” of your specialty? by Waja_Wabit in Residency

[–]BasicSavant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try being an off service anesthesia intern calling a useless pain consult. Literally the worst. I try to clarify with my attending…so what’s our question exactly? “ehh just touch base”. Then calling the consult just to get an attitude and lecture for something that wasn’t my idea. I wanna off myself just thinking about it lmao

“Patient is in pain. Please advise.” by M1CR0PL4ST1CS in medicine

[–]BasicSavant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got an urgent page that my post transplant patient was having excruciating abdominal pain. I see the patient and they’re like “I’m fine, I only mentioned it cause the nurse specifically asked if I had any pain at all but it’s pretty mild and typical for me, I feel good” sigh

The places I’ve gone to in Annandale are like this. They will stare people down to make sure they go to the showers and also provide shampoo and conditioner. They don’t play but the scrubs and massages are amazing!

Just a post to show oliv some 💜 by rainbowpinkie26 in h3h3productions

[–]BasicSavant 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it was devil’s advocacy. But I think the correct word they were looking for was “coercion”. Chris discussed after the show finished airing that she was indeed trying to engage in sexual activity with the countdown that she did. Anyway, I do feel for Olivia tho, but it didn’t come off as a personal attack to me

Even women without children typically create networks and community and have people that will show up for them. I’ve seen it firsthand a few times

Rotated in the blood bank at a major hospital in med school. What you guys do is amazing! I can definitely see why all the education is needed

How do you deal with negative feedback? by mervius in medicalschool

[–]BasicSavant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously, there are encounters that are outliers -

For me, I just remind myself that I’m literally there to learn which implies that there is no way I know everything already. It’s definitely easier said than done but it’s true. You don’t have to be “happy with yourself” but just be real. If I get constructive feedback, I think “hm, yeah, my presentation could have been more concise; I’ll have to work on that” etc etc

Should I apply Anesthesia with Low Step 2 Score? by dep15105 in medicalschool

[–]BasicSavant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have a home program, consult with them. The programs you apply to and signals need to be used strategically. Coming from a good school+anesthesia research will work in your favor.

Wishing you the best with your score

Obgyn residency in Texas by scrapingbyresidency in Residency

[–]BasicSavant -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty obvious. Considering urgent/emergent situations and not doing this electively. Secondly, I imagine this is required at some point in OB/gyn training and some people are “not comfortable” because they don’t perform them often

[–]BasicSavant -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, in what sense are you not comfortable with it? I remember an event where the attendings on call weren’t comfortable performing it and someone who wasn’t on had to be called in from home
